Some Chinese hydropower projects adopted Norwegian advanced experience
Abstract
Lots of Norwegian advanced experiences have been being adopted recently in underground engineering of Chinese Hydropower stations. In Lubuge,Dongfeng, Da-guang Dam, and Guangzhou Pumped Storage power station, rock bolted crane beams were used, some improvements have been made in design and measuring. This technology will also be adopted in some other large power stations. Shafts without steel lining have been adopted in Tian-Ilu, Guangzhou pumped storage power station, and so on. The maximum water head of unlined shaft in Tian-Hu station reaches 614 meter. Good benefits have been acquired due to adopting the advanced experiences mentioned above.
